FAMILY:
GLOSSINIDAE

REMARKS:
Nemorhina
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
is occasionally used as a valid subgenus, e.g.,
Sutton & Carlson (1997)
or included species are referred to as the
Glossina palpalis
group, e.g.,
Mohamed-Ahmed & Mihok (1999)
.
Robineau-Desvoidy (1830)
came out on 6 June while
Wiedemann’s 1830
paper came out less than three months later in September [see References in this paper for dating of the former and
Evenhuis (1997: 822)
for dating of the latter], which means
Nemorhina
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
predates
Glossina
Wiedemann, 1830
. However, acceptance of this priority would upset the nomenclature of the medically important
Glossina
, for which there is an extensive literature. Thus, application to the ICZN Commission for reverse priority between
Nemorhina
and
Glossina
when treated in synonymy is in preparation.
